q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative review attributing this to Nassif et al.'s study comparing hybrid simulation (standardized patient wearing a silicone breast simulator jacket) against a standardized tabletop breast model, with both groups assessed by OSCE. The review reports the hybrid group was "significantly better at lesion reporting."

"Students who participated in hybrid simulation training were significantly better at lesion reporting, identification of malignant features and accurate location identification compared to the group who received traditional teaching."
